Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

Always desire to learn something useful.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.
